In general, Rg Value, Y value and holiday density can be used to evaluate the performance of the coating deposited on the buried steel pipelines. However, the evaluation may be misleading when a single parameter is used. A new combination method for assessing the performance of the coating on the steel pipelines is developed in this paper. Using this approach, Rg Value, Y value and holiday density play appropriate role on the assessment. Some new modules are presented in this approach, including current distributary module, holiday module, intelligent critical curve of AC attenuation. Additionally, a computer program is compiled that can finish data processing of AC attenuation automatic, and the result report can be synchronously printed.

Evaluating the life cycle of buildings is a valuable tool for assessing sustainability and analyzing environmental consequences throughout the construction operations of buildings. In this study, in order to determine the importance of building life cycle evaluation indicators, a new combination method was used based on a quantitative-qualitative method (QQM) and a simplified best-worst method (SBWM). The SBWM method was used because it simplifies BWM calculations and does not require solving complex mathematical models. Reducing the time required to perform calculations and eliminating the need for complicated computer software are among the advantages of the proposed method. The QQM method has also been used due to its ability to evaluate quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously. The feasibility and applicability of the SBWM were examined using three numerical examples and a case study, and the results were evaluated. The results of the case study showed that the criteria of the estimated cost, comfort level, and basic floor area were, in order, the most important criteria among the others. The results of the numerical examples and the case study showed that the proposed method had a lower total deviation (TD) compared to the basic BWM. Sensitivity analysis results also confirmed that the proposed approach has a high degree of robustness for ranking and weighting criteria.

Power estimation is a very prominent aspect in micro controllers which aims to to be more efficient in terms of power. A new method of estimation of power based on the execution of instruction in AURIX, which is an automotive micro- controller is proposed. The main aim of this method is to estimate the power in perspective of program(software) or instruction level which is constantly processed in microprocessor which is more accurate when compared with the previous methodologies. The estimation is done based on some set of instructions which is used in AURIX for Data transfer/storing in to memories, Data processing and Data Execution for various application. Most of the previous methodologies are all not accurate due to the abstraction levels.

The aim of the present study is to perform an economic evaluation of a sheep farm in a herd under the control of the Sheepdog Shepherd in the village of Hitrino, Shumen district. The herd consists of 234 sheep, incl. 170 ewes, 6 males and 60 females. Milk for a dairy ewe period is 92 liters, and fertility 1.3 lambs. Productivity, revenue and expenditure data is taken from the farm accountancy data. Data processing is based on the mathematical and statistical model of an Excel computer program. Revenue from milk accounted for 38.5% of the total share, and 59.86% for meat. Wool is bought at very low prices and takes a negligible share of revenue. Variable costs accounted for 55.9% and fixed 44.1%. The main share of the variable costs is taken by the feed, which accounts for 78.72% of these and 44% of the total costs. 91.77% of fixed costs are for labor and their share is 40.47% of total costs. The subsidies amounted to BGN 140 and with them the revenues increased by 31.9% and contributed to the closing of BGN 58.29 profit from the sheep-mother, while without them the farm ended with a loss of 81.71 BGN. Profitability with subsidies is + 13.29% and no subsidies - 27.38%. Subsidies are + 15.33%, and without subsidies -21.49%. The results of the study show that, without providing subsidies, sheep of the Blackheaded Sheep Sheep are ending up with a loss.

Method Of Design

Epicyclic gear trains have been broadly applied in engineering practice. In this paper, kinematic chains (K.C.) with single-joint (S.J.) were applied to innovative synthesis of the epicyclic gear trains. The method of the innovative synthesis of the epicyclic gear trains was presented. Not only the epicyclic gear trains in common uses were obtained, but some new types of epicyclic gear trains that are got difficultly by means of conventional combination method were gained. Thereby, a new way has been offered for the innovative synthesis of the epicyclic gear trains, at the same time, a way has also been offered for practical application of some multi-link kinematic chains gained by using the theory of type-number synthesis of the K.C. with S.J.. Examples show that the method presented in this paper is right and feasible, and the method is efficient and practical for the innovative synthesis of the epicyclic gear trains.

The problem is to determine the electrical and thermal conductivities of high pressure are plasmas from measurements of the current—voltage characteristics of the are and a single radial temperature profile. A new numerical method is described together with the corresponding computer program. The latter is applied to some recent measurements on wall-stabilized nitrogen ares, covering the temperature range 4500—11,000 °K, for which radiation can be neglected, and the results are compared with those of other workers.

Two principal mathematical methods are used for quantitative XRFA: fundamental parameter calculations and the evaluation of empirical parameter equations. A comprehensive computer program based upon fundamental parameter equations was introduced in 1976 by D. Laguitton and M. Mantler (LAMA-I) and improved by T. C. Huang in 1979 (LAMA-II). The present paper describes the features of the theoretical background of a computer program using a new type of empirical (alpha*-) parameter equations. It is essentially designed for convenient analysis of compounds including those containing chemical elements, that cannot be directly measured by conventional X-ray spectrometers, such as oxides, nitrides, and others. The program also communicates automatically with LAMA in order to establish theoretical tables of alpha*-coefficients as well as conventional alpha-coefficients.
